MONROE, La. -- Since the Southeastern Conference wanted to stay with college football tradition by allowing programs to keep their crossover opponents, Joe Alleva figured he might as well parlay that into cementing Louisiana State's own tradition.

The athletica director at LSU, who has voiced his displeasure the past few days over the SEC's decision, and again on Tuesday night at the Civic Center in Monroe, is "very confident" ESPN and CBS will give LSU night games in Death Valley instead of the dreadful afternoon games that many fans have come to roll their eyes over.
